Oh my gosh!! Seriously SO GOOD! I came on a Friday lunch and the food was tasty, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The Japanese skewers were mouthwatering and the sushi is of course incredible. The miso soup even tasted fresh and well prepared. The ambiance is amazing. The staff wonderful and kind. 100/10 experience for my first time here. Thank you!

Stopped into Shinwa Izakaya tonight and had an amazing experience. I was greeted right away and seated at the bar, and the staff were super friendly and patient with all my questions. The ramen was a full 10/10 — great presentation, rich flavor, and honestly one of the best bowls I’ve had in a while. They walked me through anything I didn’t understand on the menu, and the portion and price felt completely worth it. I’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to bring my family next time.

Love this place! It’s absolutely beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly. I came once and sat at the bar, and now it’s become my weekly spot for fresh sushi and handcrafted cocktails! Helen is amazing—always smiling and giving off such positive, welcoming energy. She really makes you feel invited and appreciated. And Vanessa is SO sweet! She always checks in to make sure I’m doing okay. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Overall, this was an unforgettable dining experience. Between the excellent service, warm staff, and incredible food, this is definitely a restaurant I would recommend to anyone. I will 100% be coming back and encouraging others to tr

★★★★★ 5.0 Anastasia Sirbu · Jun 2025

A new, clean, and beautiful spot! The atmosphere is cozy and modern, and everything feels fresh. The rolls are absolutely delicious — full of flavor and perfectly made. The skewers were a pleasant surprise — juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area!
